The average price is 11 715 rubles
Specifications:
- Bluetooth earphones with microphone
- open liners
- working time 5 hours
- weight 4 g
- iPhone support
- voice dialing
The rating of the best wireless headphones for the phone in 2019 opens with an updated model from a well-known manufacturer.
It is not a significant improvement over its predecessor headphones, so you should pay attention to it if you are buying the first pair of good wireless headphones. If you already have original AirPods, do not spend money on the 2019 version.
Apple claims that the new H1 chip in the headphones improves connectivity and battery life, and also allows you to use the new Hey Siri voice activation feature. And having a case for wireless charging in the kit means that you can use a Qi-compatible charging mat, instead of plugging the cable into the Lightning charging port located at the bottom of the case.
The charging case provides another 20 hours of battery life beyond the five hours you get from the headphones themselves, which is similar to the original AirPods.
In terms of sound, AirPods 2019 still delivers vibrant, clear sound, although they can sound a bit harsh when it comes to high-frequency sounds. And these are not the most bass headphones on the market.
pros: the headphones sit tight in the ears and do not fall out, even if you shake your head, each microphone has 2 microphones, the music is interrupted if you remove the headphones from the ears.
Minuses: audio and design have not improved compared to the previous version, not the best sound insulation.
2. Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earbuds
Average price - 2,200 rubles
Specifications:

Special nozzles included in the kit allow you to "fit" Mi True Wireless Earbuds to the size of the ears of a particular user. According to the reviews of the owners, the headphones have excellent sound insulation and are ideal for training, as they do not pop out of your ears.
But touch control has earned mixed ratings. On the one hand, it is stylish, fashionable and modern. On the other hand, when placing the earphone in your ear, you can accidentally press the sensor, but when you press it purposefully, the control may not work the first time.
The sound quality of this gadget can be described as follows: a solid C grade of five points. In this regard, Apple AirPods unconditionally win, but in fact the difference in price between these models wow!
pros: convenient charging case included, can work in headset mode, you can listen to music for 4 hours in a row.

How to choose a wireless headphone for your phone
Should I buy wireless headphones? As a rule, wired headphones sound much better than their wireless counterparts, but if mobility and convenience are your number one priority, then wireless headphones are far superior to their wired counterparts.
The main disadvantage of wireless headphones is the problem of fast battery drain. Also, instances of an unstable bluetooth connection of headphones with a phone on the street are not uncommon.
Here are a few basic things to watch out for before you buy a Bluetooth wireless headset:
- Battery capacity and the ability to replace it. An ideal battery should run for more than 4 hours in full mode (maximum volume with all functions and features turned on) and an average of 8 hours.
- Wireless range. Ideally, 10 meters or more.
- Assembly, comfort and weight. If you plan to take headphones often on the road, then pay attention that the kit includes a case for carrying headphones or they have a folding design.
- Price. It all depends on your financial capabilities.
- Is there sound insulation or noise reduction? If all you need is to completely get rid of the sounds of the outside world, then choose models with active noise reduction.The better the sound insulation of the headphones, the better you hear the music and avoid unwanted noise.
One of the useful features of expensive wireless headphones is the presence of the aptX audio codec. This is a wireless transmission mode using a smarter compression type that “packs” large pieces of data into a signal and transmits it faster. It is capable of reproducing sound without loss, that is, theoretically capable of transmitting higher quality sound than inexpensive Bluetooth headphones.
If you intend to use wireless headphones, you need to know about the choice between earplugs, earbuds, on-ear headphones and full-size headphones.
- Vacuum, they are also in-ear headphones, they are also commonly used as plugs, inserted into the ear canal, plugging the ear tightly and provide excellent sound insulation, as well as allow you to better feel the bass. But when they are worn for a long time, some users begin to get sore ears or a headache.
- While in-ear headphones are inserted into the auricles, on-ear headphones simply “lie” on the ears, and full-size headphones completely cover the ears.
- In-ear headphones, as a rule, block external noise worse than “gags”. But they create less pressure on the ear.
- On-ear and full-sized headphones usually provide the most powerful and rich sound. At the same time, they are more bulky than plugs and inserts.
